OLD ROSE AND WHITE CLASS PROPHECY St. Bernice, Indiana. December 14, 1942. My dear Ruby :- It seems ages since I have heard from you and George. It certainly seems strange for you to live in South America, although I am glad that you are satisfied so far away from your home folks. My husband and I have just returned from an extended trip abroad. We certainly enjoyed ourselves an anyone here at home can only imagine the wonderful sights in ancient Europe. We left St. Bernice July 17 and went to Chicago to stay over night with a friend of ours. As we took a stroll that evening, after eating our supper at the home of our friend, we saw a bill advertising a prize fight by the Champion Heavy-weight, Franklin Ennis. I was anxious to see if he was my old class-mate, so we attended the fight. It was sure enough “old Frank” and we had quite a chat with him at the close of the fight. Though weak, he was in good spirits over being victorious. The next morning we started for Boston and while waiting for the train at New Haven we decided to view the Yale College campus. While looking around we met Professor Elza Church who is now teaching Botany and Physics at Yale and is really proud of his position. We arrived in Boston early in the afternoon and took a stroll in the park. While there we met Mrs. Owen Campbell, formerly Frances Dunn. She and Owen are traveling singers and were then singing in Boston, featuring “Bye, Bye, Blackheads”, by Tweezer. We left for New York the next morning and arrived there in time for supper that night. We attended a show before retiring and there we saw Ruth Roberts, a toe dancer. After the show we had a short talk with her. She had just come from the South and said that Mr. and Mrs. Ared Lamb are living on their estate in Florida. Mrs. Lamb was formerly Elsie Cheesewright. The Lambs are very wealthy, due to Ared’s invention of a golf ball with a graphaphone attachment that will sing out “here I am.” Ruth also said that she had had a letter from Eva Beard, who is the first lady speaker of the House of Representatives in Washington, D. C. We sailed on the Majestic from New York. The ocean was rather rough but we enjoyed the trip. We reached Madrid, Spain, on Saturday 19 2 8 Page twenty-one

To the Sophomore class we will all our discarded chewing gum on the desks. To the Freshmen class we will our ability to think and act dignified because we know you need it. Signed by.

 OLD ROSE AND WHITE morning but did not look around much until the next day. We attended a bull-fight on Sunday and saw Hubert Pearman, a famed bull fighter. We then left for France. We arrived in Paris early in the morning and I decided to get a permanent wave. As I entered the Ritz Carlton Hotel I was certainly surprised to see our old classmate, Ruby Myers, a beauty operator there. While talking with her she told me that Marjorie Ingram is a widow, living in London, England. From Paris we went to Venice, Italy. While we were there we had the privilege of visiting one of the Art Galleries. We saw a portrait of Faye Dunn, who is a professional model for artists, painted by Raymond Spaulding who has gained much fame abroad as an artist. We left Venice November 25, on the “Columbia” and reached New York four days later. As we were descending the gangplank we met Ernest Spurgeon, who is a noted Wall Street broker. He is married and is quite content with his splendid income. I do hope that you and George will be able to visit the United States soon. Your old “Pal”, Thelma Reynolds. P. s.—I suppose you know that our old classmate, Stanley Miller is History professor at Bono, taking Mr. Shirley’s place. I almost forgot to tell you that Marjorie Eaton is an old maid living with her parents at Bono. • Louise McBride, Mary McCart. ss1928i Page twenty-two
